The imperial brother kneels and begs me to marry my daughter-in-law
Chapter 65 The Bewildering Situation
"Brother Chen, haven't His Majesty and Man Rong replied yet?"
Seven days have passed since the day the letter was delivered.But neither Xiao Jingong nor Man Rong has heard back.None of the messengers has come back yet.I don't know if the trip was delayed on the way, or if there was an accident.Counting the distance, it stands to reason that he should have returned last night to send a message, but he hasn't.
The armies and horses of the four countries have obeyed Wu Shou's dispatch, and now the soldiers are approaching the gate of Guanmeng County, the key point of Zhao State. More than 40 troops lined up in formation, and the heads of the four countries sat firmly in the formation. As long as Wu Shou gave an order, Meng County would immediately be on fire.
Wu Shou sat in the middle, Zheng Chu lined up on both sides of him, Zhou Guo led the least and weakest soldiers, and Lin Xiu consciously sat on the edge.Wu Kai rode behind Wu Shou and said, "Father, do you want to start attacking?"
Wu Shou looked up at the sun, and it was about Chen's time. He had gathered troops from all over the world since dawn, and now the troops from all over the world had been in full formation for more than an hour.Wu Shou glanced roughly, and some soldiers had already started to doze off with their mouths wide open.If we wait any longer, the patience of the soldiers will be worn out.Whether it is riding on horseback or standing on the ground, it is tiring to stand upright for more than an hour.
Everyone didn't know what Wu Shou was waiting for, and Lin Xiu didn't want to ask, anyway, she was not in a hurry, and even hoped that the war would be fought as slowly as possible, so as to give Helian more time.Zheng Qiu did not dare to make a sound.Whether it is attacking or retreating or waiting, he just wants to reduce his sense of existence, and everything is at his disposal, and he dare not have any objections.
However, Chu Fu couldn't sit still anymore, he spent six or seven days just arranging troops, finally decided to attack Wu Shou and delayed for no reason.If this is really a war between the two countries, I am afraid that the war will be over.How could it take so long to prepare.Wu Shou didn't answer Wu Kai's words for a long time, Chu Fu couldn't help asking:
"May I ask what the leader is waiting for? More than 40 soldiers and horses from the four countries have gathered here. Are you afraid that you will not be able to defeat a small Meng County? Let me tell you, it should have been captured last night. Leader, do you think it is the kingdoms of the world?" The crusade against Zhao should be aboveboard. Now that the sun is too bright, if you don’t attack, what are you waiting for?”
Wu Shou said displeased: "The King of Chu is so anxious, and he doesn't care about Meng County so much, why not let your country of Chu attack alone? Our Three Kingdoms can also see the glory of the King of Chu here!"
Chu Fu disdained: "Huh! A small Meng County still needs more than 40 troops? If Wu Guo is timid now, I think it is better to disband the Zhao League! Everyone goes back to their respective homes! It's better than here What a waste of food and grass!"
Wu Shou didn't pay attention to Chu Fu anymore, but his expression was obviously displeased, he frowned, and said to Wu Kai: "Send the order, line up, and attack."
"Yes!" Wu Kai took the order and said loudly, "Array! Attack!"
The drummer got the order, and immediately beat the drum vigorously. When the soldiers heard the sound of the drum, they began to line up and attack according to the formation agreed earlier in the morning.
Wu Shou stood up, pulled out the sword at his waist, and gave an order: "Attack!"
"Attack!" Hundreds of thousands of soldiers shouted slogans and marched forward to attack the city.The originally quiet venue suddenly became dusty and crowded.It was the first time for Lin Xiu to be in the center of the battlefield.Although she was sure of winning and knew that Zhou's soldiers would not be harmed, she still couldn't help but look solemn.
Zhou Guo brought few soldiers.Among them, [-] are female soldiers who have never been on the battlefield.In things like siege, too many people are useless. If the door is not opened, too many people rushing forward will only cause a stampede.Therefore, the soldiers attacking the city gate this time did not have many soldiers from Zhou State, but soldiers from Wu State and Chu State.
Strange to say, it stands to reason that besieging the city gate is the most detrimental thing to do, and the four countries probably don't want to do it.Lin Xiu originally thought that Wu and Chu would shirk this matter to Zhou Zheng, but she didn't expect that neither of them shirked it.
Although the coalition forces of various countries, the soldiers wear different clothes, and it is still possible to tell which soldiers belong to which countries at a glance.The soldiers of the state of Zhou wore red, the soldiers of Wu wore blue, the soldiers of Chu wore white, and the soldiers of Zheng wore brown.
The battlefield is a very dangerous place, so the general is generally in the center of the army formation to ensure that the leader will not be shot.Lin Xiu and the generals of various countries are in the original formation at this moment, and they are more than 200 meters away from the city gate.The naked eye can't really see what's going on.I can only see that most of them are dressed in blue and white in front of the city gate.
Zhao Guo knew the plan of dividing Zhao from the four kingdoms a long time ago, so they made the best preparations they could do early in the morning.At this moment, there are actually quite a few guards in Meng County, but the coalition forces don't know how many there are.This time Zhao Guo was led by Qian Jian and Zhao Rui.Zhao Cong finally sobered up two points before his country was about to perish, and reactivated Qian Jian.
It's just that at this time, it's hard for a god to save Zhao Guo.The general of the Allied Forces who made the decision was General Xie Yong of the State of Wu, and he was also a veteran general who had experienced many battles.He first let Wu Chu's army climb the wall with ladders, and at the same time kept opening the gate with wooden stakes.
When the soldiers climbed up the city wall, the archers of Zhou State kept shooting arrows on the city wall in front of the city to protect the soldiers who were besieging the city.Many soldiers guarding the city of Zhao State were smashed to death.But at the same time, the soldiers on the wall of Zhao State kept shooting arrows down the city.
Zhou Guo is mainly responsible for archery female soldiers, this time did not bring male archers.Originally, Xie Chen and Rufeng were still very nervous, for fear that the female soldiers had never been on the battlefield, and if they could not shoot correctly, it would be embarrassing for Zhou Guo.
But before going to the battlefield, Chen Yunjian specially came over and told them not to shoot accurately.Chen Yunjian said, "The national teacher said, don't shoot at the vitals, just shoot at the arms, legs or shoulders, and don't show your strength."Come out this time, just to see the scene, if you want to show your strength, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. '
Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Guo's female soldiers made a move, the soldiers behind all laughed.Even Wu Shou couldn't help laughing.He joked: "Master Lin, it seems that Zhou's female soldiers still need to practice more, huh? Hahahaha!"
The King of Chu, who was at odds with Wu Shou, laughed disdainfully.
Lin Xiu deliberately pretended to be embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "I made everyone laugh. Zhou Guo's female soldiers have been established for too short a period of time, and they haven't trained well. It's inevitable that they will be nervous when they first enter the battlefield. It will be better to practice more."
Wu Shou smiled and said: "I'm afraid this is not a matter of experience, right? Women should do what women should do. Bringing female soldiers to the battlefield is not a hindrance to men. Fortunately, it is the Allied Forces of the Four Nations. Lin Guoshi, I am not talking It's ugly, if the two countries are really at war, you female soldiers may not only be unable to help, but also need male soldiers to cover their retreat. Hahahaha!"
The King of Chu also said: "Wu Wang's words are wrong. Female soldiers are also useful for female soldiers. I heard that there are female medical soldiers in Zhou State. I guess they are still useful. Just don't let female soldiers fight in the future. Cavalry and infantry are not good, and archery is also not good. Why don't they let them handle the logistics? When the men are finished fighting, let the women carry the wounded with missing arms and legs back for treatment. .Why make it difficult for women to do things they are not good at?"
What the king of Chu said seemed objective, but in fact he was full of contempt for women.Xiao Shu'an glanced at Chu Fu coldly, not wanting to pay attention to her.It was also rare for Wu Shou not to refute Chu Fu, and the two were very unified in the matter of running on the female soldiers of Zhou State.
Lin Xiu had no choice but to be very embarrassed, with a shy face, and did not speak.The joke between the two was over, and they continued to focus on the battlefield ahead.Only Wu Kai kept looking at Lin Xiu and Xiao Shu'an thoughtfully, not knowing what he was exploring.Lin Xiu felt his gaze, but pretended not to know.
I thought that the Four National Congresses would soon break through the gates of Meng County, but I didn't expect to take it for a long time.Zhao Jun got a lot of lime powder from nowhere. When the soldiers climbed the stairs to the city wall, they kept throwing lime powder from the top. The lime powder instantly entered the eyes of the soldiers, and the burning soldiers screamed again and again.
Not long after, many people fell under the city wall of Meng County, some were smashed to death, and some were Zhao Jun who was smashed or dragged down from the city wall.Even more, it was Chu Jun who fell from the ladder.
Chu Fu's face became more and more solemn. After observing for a while, he questioned: "Why did Zhao Jun only throw lime powder at Chu Jun, but not Wu Jun?"
King Wu's face turned ugly in an instant, and he said angrily, "What does King Chu mean by this? I just encountered some setbacks, and I wanted to fight among myself? How could King Chu see clearly whether Wu Jun was so far away from the city gate?" Injured? Could it be that only your soldiers from the Chu army are soldiers, and my soldiers from the Wu army are not soldiers? Is it true that if a soldier from the Chu army dies, I must bury a soldier from the Wu army!"
Wu Shou's words were sharp and his tone was very angry.Lin Xiu silently observed the situation of the lower city wall, and found that the Chu army had more casualties, but it was not that there were no Wu troops, but that the number of casualties was small. As for what the King of Chu said, the Zhao army only threw lime powder at the Chu army. I really didn't pay attention.
She whispered to Chen Yunjian: "Is what the king of Chu said true?"
Chen Yunjian shook her head in confusion and said in a low voice, "I don't know either, I didn't observe carefully just now."
Lin Xiu turned to look at Xiao Shuan again, Xiao Shuan also shook his head.Lin Xiu frowned, feeling a little irritable in his heart. He couldn't judge the truth of what the King of Chu said.Just looking at Wu Shou's reaction, it seemed that he was genuinely angry, not fake.But judging from Chu Fu's reaction, it doesn't seem like a random planting.
Perhaps, it's just that Chu Fu felt sorry for Chu Jun's loss, Lin Xiu thought.
Chu Fu remained silent when questioned by Wu Shou, but carefully watched the movement of the battlefield ahead with a solemn expression.But Wu Shou didn't let him go: "Why, the king of Chu stopped talking? As the lord of a country, he speaks his words out of nowhere, don't you think you should say something? Or do you just feel sorry for the sacrifice of the Chu army? If this is the case, you Chu State can withdraw from this alliance, and it is better than you being an ally but hurting people with your words and accusing others of crimes indiscriminately!"
Chu Fu really couldn't find any evidence to support his words, he just expressed his doubts bluntly just now.At this moment, after careful observation, it was found that Wu Jun was indeed killed in battle, but relatively few.He also felt that maybe he was thinking too much. At this moment, Wu Shou made him unable to get off the stage, so he could only lower his head temporarily and said, "It was Chu who said something wrong, please forgive me, King Wu."
"Hmph!" King Wu snorted coldly, ignored Chu Fu, and both of them focused on the battlefield.
Lin Xiu observed carefully for a while, and found that the Chu army was really killed in battle.The Wu army also climbed the ladder and attacked the city gate, but the casualties were less than one-tenth of the Chu army.Could it be... Wu Shou and Zhao Guo colluded to set up a trap?Lin Xiu suddenly felt that things had become complicated.The situation that seemed very clear to her suddenly seemed to be turbulent, making her unable to figure out the context.
Seeing that Lin Xiu was not as relaxed as before, Xiao Shu'an frowned, not knowing what he was thinking about.She asked softly: "What's the matter? But what's wrong?"
Lin Xiu shook her head and sighed softly: "I don't know, I always feel that something is wrong. The messenger sent out has not returned yet, and I don't know what is going on with His Majesty and Man Rong. I always feel very uneasy."
Xiao Shuan said: "Nothing should happen, maybe something happened on the way and it was delayed."
Lin Xiudao: "But didn't we send two teams? The destinations are also different. It doesn't matter if the ones who went to the barbarians didn't come back, why didn't the ones who went to His Majesty's place not come back? If there is a delay, will they be delayed together? ? I always feel like something is going to happen."
Xiao Shu'an thought for a while, but couldn't figure out what else could happen. She comforted Lin Xiu: "There shouldn't be any major incidents. At most, the Man Rong didn't send troops. This is acceptable to us. We just need to wait carefully for the next time." Opportunities are good, don't worry too much, let's take care of what's in front of us first, so that Wu Shou won't get suspicious."
Lin Xiu turned her head and glanced at the car on Wu's side. Wu Shou didn't pay attention to this side, but turned his head and met Wu Kai's eyes. He seemed to be paying attention to this side all the time.Seeing Lin Xiu seeing him, Wu Kai didn't dodge, and smiled and nodded to Lin Xiu to say hello.Lin Xiu also nodded and returned the salute, then stopped looking at her and set her eyes on the battlefield, but she always felt a little confused in her heart, always felt that something was missed by herself, and she didn't notice it.
Xiao Shu'an worriedly put his hand on Lin Xiu's to comfort her.Lin Xiu lifted her spirits, smiled at Xiao Shuan, and signaled that she was fine.
It was not until the sun was about to set that the Allied forces broke through the gate of Meng County.The coalition army was extremely excited, and broke into the city gate and fought with Zhao Jun in one go.
With more than 40 troops in the alliance, how could the Zhao army resist it? When the city gate was broken, Qian Jian and Zhao Rui led the large army and fled to Shaokang, Zhao's next fortified city.
Zhao Jun and Wu Jun quickly occupied Meng County. Wu Shou did not send troops to continue chasing and killing Zhao Jun. Instead, he and Chu Jun each entered the city and occupied a piece of territory, which seemed to be a reason to divide the territory.
Lin Xiu still couldn't figure out the chaotic situation, ignored Wu Chu's actions, and only occupied a territory divided by the Allied forces to settle in and rest, and the same was true for Zheng Jun.
-------------------------------------
Inside Shaokang City, Qian Jian and Zhao Rui took a rest here with their battered soldiers.From the very beginning, Zhao Rui knew that Meng County could not be defended, so when the city gate was broken, he and Qian Jian led a large army to escape, so that Zhao Jun did not actually damage too many troops, but the price he paid was—abandoning the city and leaving the city. escape.
Zhao Rui was disheveled, not as delicate as before.I thought that after Prince Zhao Duan was detained, he could replace him.He has indeed done it, even though the father doesn't want to succeed him, nor does he plan to change the crown prince, but his time is running out, Zhao Guo has already been controlled by Zhao Rui.
But he didn't expect that when he took over, it would be such a mess, besieged on all sides, encircled and suppressed by all countries.He had no choice but to shoulder the burden and go out in person, but everyone in the Zhao country knew that this time was more or less auspicious.With the power of one country against the power of four countries, how can we fight against it?
Many ministers in the DPRK even wrote a letter suggesting to surrender directly, so as to keep the peace of the people in the country.But how can Zhao Cong and his son be reconciled, the country handed down by their ancestors has been guarded for 500 years, and it will be ruined in their hands, so what face do they have to meet their ancestors?
Prime Minister Gongsun Chang once proposed to follow the example of Zhou Guo at the beginning and establish an alliance to tide over the crisis.But Wu Guo was too cunning, and he took the first step to win over other countries to divide Zhao together, but no country was willing to help Zhao Guo.Zhao Guo's envoy lobbied earnestly like Zhou Guo's envoy did, saying some words like dead lips and teeth, but it had no effect at all.
Just because the state of Zhou at that time was indeed a weak state, and the state of Zhou had never been really strong in 500 years.The countries in the Central Plains have never put Zhou Guo in their eyes, so they are willing to help Zhou Guo, because Zhou Guo's existence does not pose a threat to anyone in their eyes.But Zhao Guo is different, it has been strong for more than a hundred years!During this period, the nations were continuously oppressed, and unjust wars were repeatedly launched.
All countries tend to be more or less powerful military divisions of the Zhao country. They dare not say anything, they can only endure and develop silently, thinking that one day they will become stronger.Now that the state of Zhao is weak, it is actually the military strength that is weak, not the financial resources.Zhao Guo lost more than 20 soldiers in just one year, and Zhao Cong, the leader of the country, gradually spent his time in a state of desolation, ignoring the government, so that his troops could not be replenished in time.The court's decision-making was not decisive and wise. If the second prince had been allowed to succeed to the throne earlier, it might not have come to this point, but Zhao Cong insisted on the government and dragged down the country.
Everyone knows that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, but everyone knows the truth of burning eyebrows.After Zhao Guo is destroyed, Wu Guo will gradually become stronger, and then it will continue to launch wars to annex small countries.But that was after Zhao Guo was destroyed, and with the strength of Wu Guo, it would take several years to develop before he dared to be like Zhao Guo.As long as there are variables, there is hope.
But if Zhao Guo is given time to breathe, once his military strength recovers, countries like Zhou Zheng will be bullied by him again.Therefore, if you have to choose one of the two, everyone would rather the country of Wu rise slowly than let the country of Zhao revive.In the end, it was Zhao Cong's fault that he sat down and did too many crimes, which caused Zhao Guo to lose the credibility and prestige that a country should have.
Zhao Guojun and his ministers basically foresaw the demise of Zhao Guo, but Zhao Rui didn't want to admit it.He had finally waited for a chance to ascend the throne, how could he be willing to surrender and become a prisoner!Zhou Guo can be brought back to life, how can Zhao Guo not!But thinking about what happened today, he felt a little unhappy.
"General Qian, why do you want to withdraw! Although the coalition forces broke through the city gate, the city gate is narrow, and it is impossible for more than 40 troops to come in at once. We only need to guard the entrance, keep throwing stones and shooting rockets, although we still cannot defend Meng County. , but at least it can also damage the strength of the coalition forces, so that it will be easier for us to defend Shaokang. Now it is equivalent to giving them Mengxian County for nothing, and almost no damage to their strength. If we retreat like this, we will soon retreat to Now that the capital is here, where should we retreat at that time?"
Qian Jian closed his eyes wearily, and said weakly: "How can it be regarded as giving in, didn't the Chu army die a lot of people?"
Zhao Rui said excitedly: "Chu's army can only hurt 1 people at most, Wu's army basically didn't suffer much damage, but we lost a city! How can the general calculate like this!"
Qian Jian opened his eyes, obviously a little displeased and said: "Then what are your Highness's plans? Fight with the coalition forces in Meng County? If you want to go, you can also lead troops there now, they are still in Meng County, you can go to sneak attack. Look See if the person you brought can be brought back."
"You!" Zhao Rui was so angry that he couldn't speak, stood for a while holding back his anger, then turned and walked away.
Wang Taiwei and Qian Jiangjun have always been his assistants, and Zhao Rui also trusts them.He is not a prince, but they are willing to help him fight for the throne. General Qian lost his position because of this.Logically speaking, Zhao Rui shouldn't think about these two people like this, but he really felt that something was wrong about what happened today.
When throwing lime powder on the city wall, Zhao Rui obviously felt that the soldiers were more aimed at the soldiers of Chu State, but they were showing mercy to Wu Jun.He yelled at those soldiers at that time. After yelling, the soldiers said that they didn't do it deliberately, and killed several Wu soldiers in front of him.That's why Zhao Rui let it go, he just regarded it as a coincidence.
But after the allied forces entered the city, Qian Jian led his troops to abandon the city without saying a word. He retorted that he would not leave and guarded the passage.But I don't know if the battlefield was too noisy, everyone didn't hear him or what happened, but no one listened to him, Qian Jian gave an order, and everyone withdrew in an instant.Zhao Rui also had no choice but to retreat with the large army, and fled to Shaokang all the way in embarrassment.
But if General Qian did it on purpose, why?They have no reason to do so.Zhao Rui sat down on the steps discouragedly, regardless of his own image, just like a tired soldier at the moment.
Zhao Rui thought, perhaps because the country was about to perish, General Qian was unhappy, and his attitude towards himself had also changed.But since he is still willing to go out with him, it means that he still supports him, but he is too tired and impatient to explain the reason for using troops to himself.
Thinking of this, Zhao Rui got up and brought some food and drink to Qian Jian.The country is in trouble, and it is the time when the general is needed to lead the army to fight. He must not have a quarrel with the general at this time.This temper is what he deserves.He has endured so many years in the court, and he has never suffered any grievances. As long as he can defend the Zhao country and make a comeback in the future, he will no longer need to suffer from such uselessness.But now, he had to endure it.
"General, let's eat something." Zhao Rui handed Qian Jian two cakes and a water bottle.
Qian Jian looked up and saw that it was Zhao Rui, he was stunned for a while before reaching out to take the things in Zhao Rui's hands, he thought Zhao Rui was angry and left and ignored him, but he didn't expect to bring the things back.The prince of a country, being wronged so far, he also felt a little sad, but his years of military service made him not good at expressing, so he simply said: "Thank you."
Zhao Rui smiled gently, as if the previous disputes did not exist: "They are all my own, I regard the general as an uncle, the general is polite."

I thought that the Four National Congresses would soon break through the gates of Meng County, but I didn't expect to take it for a long time.Zhao Jun got a lot of lime powder from nowhere. When the soldiers climbed the stairs to the city wall, they kept throwing lime powder from the top. The lime powder instantly entered the eyes of the soldiers, and the burning soldiers screamed again and again.
Not long after, many people fell under the city wall of Meng County, some were smashed to death, and some were Zhao Jun who was smashed or dragged down from the city wall.Even more, it was Chu Jun who fell from the ladder.
Chu Fu's face became more and more solemn. After observing for a while, he questioned: "Why did Zhao Jun only throw lime powder at Chu Jun, but not Wu Jun?"
King Wu's face turned ugly in an instant, and he said angrily, "What does King Chu mean by this? I just encountered some setbacks, and I wanted to fight among myself? How could King Chu see clearly whether Wu Jun was so far away from the city gate?" Injured? Could it be that only your soldiers from the Chu army are soldiers, and my soldiers from the Wu army are not soldiers? Is it true that if a soldier from the Chu army dies, I must bury a soldier from the Wu army!"
Wu Shou's words were sharp and his tone was very angry.Lin Xiu silently observed the situation of the lower city wall, and found that the Chu army had more casualties, but it was not that there were no Wu troops, but that the number of casualties was small. As for what the King of Chu said, the Zhao army only threw lime powder at the Chu army. I really didn't pay attention.
She whispered to Chen Yunjian: "Is what the king of Chu said true?"
Chen Yunjian shook her head in confusion and said in a low voice, "I don't know either, I didn't observe carefully just now."
Lin Xiu turned to look at Xiao Shuan again, Xiao Shuan also shook his head.Lin Xiu frowned, feeling a little irritable in his heart. He couldn't judge the truth of what the King of Chu said.Just looking at Wu Shou's reaction, it seemed that he was genuinely angry, not fake.But judging from Chu Fu's reaction, it doesn't seem like a random planting.
Perhaps, it's just that Chu Fu felt sorry for Chu Jun's loss, Lin Xiu thought.
Chu Fu remained silent when questioned by Wu Shou, but carefully watched the movement of the battlefield ahead with a solemn expression.But Wu Shou didn't let him go: "Why, the king of Chu stopped talking? As the lord of a country, he speaks his words out of nowhere, don't you think you should say something? Or do you just feel sorry for the sacrifice of the Chu army? If this is the case, you Chu State can withdraw from this alliance, and it is better than you being an ally but hurting people with your words and accusing others of crimes indiscriminately!"
Chu Fu really couldn't find any evidence to support his words, he just expressed his doubts bluntly just now.At this moment, after careful observation, it was found that Wu Jun was indeed killed in battle, but relatively few.He also felt that maybe he was thinking too much. At this moment, Wu Shou made him unable to get off the stage, so he could only lower his head temporarily and said, "It was Chu who said something wrong, please forgive me, King Wu."
"Hmph!" King Wu snorted coldly, ignored Chu Fu, and both of them focused on the battlefield.
Lin Xiu observed carefully for a while, and found that the Chu army was really killed in battle.The Wu army also climbed the ladder and attacked the city gate, but the casualties were less than one-tenth of the Chu army.Could it be... Wu Shou and Zhao Guo colluded to set up a trap?Lin Xiu suddenly felt that things had become complicated.The situation that seemed very clear to her suddenly seemed to be turbulent, making her unable to figure out the context.
Seeing that Lin Xiu was not as relaxed as before, Xiao Shu'an frowned, not knowing what he was thinking about.She asked softly: "What's the matter? But what's wrong?"
Lin Xiu shook her head and sighed softly: "I don't know, I always feel that something is wrong. The messenger sent out has not returned yet, and I don't know what is going on with His Majesty and Man Rong. I always feel very uneasy."
Xiao Shuan said: "Nothing should happen, maybe something happened on the way and it was delayed."
Lin Xiudao: "But didn't we send two teams? The destinations are also different. It doesn't matter if the ones who went to the barbarians didn't come back, why didn't the ones who went to His Majesty's place not come back? If there is a delay, will they be delayed together? ? I always feel like something is going to happen."
Xiao Shu'an thought for a while, but couldn't figure out what else could happen. She comforted Lin Xiu: "There shouldn't be any major incidents. At most, the Man Rong didn't send troops. This is acceptable to us. We just need to wait carefully for the next time." Opportunities are good, don't worry too much, let's take care of what's in front of us first, so that Wu Shou won't get suspicious."
Lin Xiu turned her head and glanced at the car on Wu's side. Wu Shou didn't pay attention to this side, but turned his head and met Wu Kai's eyes. He seemed to be paying attention to this side all the time.Seeing Lin Xiu seeing him, Wu Kai didn't dodge, and smiled and nodded to Lin Xiu to say hello.Lin Xiu also nodded and returned the salute, then stopped looking at her and set her eyes on the battlefield, but she always felt a little confused in her heart, always felt that something was missed by herself, and she didn't notice it.
Xiao Shu'an worriedly put his hand on Lin Xiu's to comfort her.Lin Xiu lifted her spirits, smiled at Xiao Shuan, and signaled that she was fine.
It was not until the sun was about to set that the Allied forces broke through the gate of Meng County.The coalition army was extremely excited, and broke into the city gate and fought with Zhao Jun in one go.
With more than 40 troops in the alliance, how could the Zhao army resist it? When the city gate was broken, Qian Jian and Zhao Rui led the large army and fled to Shaokang, Zhao's next fortified city.
Zhao Jun and Wu Jun quickly occupied Meng County. Wu Shou did not send troops to continue chasing and killing Zhao Jun. Instead, he and Chu Jun each entered the city and occupied a piece of territory, which seemed to be a reason to divide the territory.
Lin Xiu still couldn't figure out the chaotic situation, ignored Wu Chu's actions, and only occupied a territory divided by the Allied forces to settle in and rest, and the same was true for Zheng Jun.
-------------------------------------
Inside Shaokang City, Qian Jian and Zhao Rui took a rest here with their battered soldiers.From the very beginning, Zhao Rui knew that Meng County could not be defended, so when the city gate was broken, he and Qian Jian led a large army to escape, so that Zhao Jun did not actually damage too many troops, but the price he paid was—abandoning the city and leaving the city. escape.
Zhao Rui was disheveled, not as delicate as before.I thought that after Prince Zhao Duan was detained, he could replace him.He has indeed done it, even though the father doesn't want to succeed him, nor does he plan to change the crown prince, but his time is running out, Zhao Guo has already been controlled by Zhao Rui.
But he didn't expect that when he took over, it would be such a mess, besieged on all sides, encircled and suppressed by all countries.He had no choice but to shoulder the burden and go out in person, but everyone in the Zhao country knew that this time was more or less auspicious.With the power of one country against the power of four countries, how can we fight against it?
Many ministers in the DPRK even wrote a letter suggesting to surrender directly, so as to keep the peace of the people in the country.But how can Zhao Cong and his son be reconciled, the country handed down by their ancestors has been guarded for 500 years, and it will be ruined in their hands, so what face do they have to meet their ancestors?
Prime Minister Gongsun Chang once proposed to follow the example of Zhou Guo at the beginning and establish an alliance to tide over the crisis.But Wu Guo was too cunning, and he took the first step to win over other countries to divide Zhao together, but no country was willing to help Zhao Guo.Zhao Guo's envoy lobbied earnestly like Zhou Guo's envoy did, saying some words like dead lips and teeth, but it had no effect at all.
Just because the state of Zhou at that time was indeed a weak state, and the state of Zhou had never been really strong in 500 years.The countries in the Central Plains have never put Zhou Guo in their eyes, so they are willing to help Zhou Guo, because Zhou Guo's existence does not pose a threat to anyone in their eyes.But Zhao Guo is different, it has been strong for more than a hundred years!During this period, the nations were continuously oppressed, and unjust wars were repeatedly launched.
All countries tend to be more or less powerful military divisions of the Zhao country. They dare not say anything, they can only endure and develop silently, thinking that one day they will become stronger.Now that the state of Zhao is weak, it is actually the military strength that is weak, not the financial resources.Zhao Guo lost more than 20 soldiers in just one year, and Zhao Cong, the leader of the country, gradually spent his time in a state of desolation, ignoring the government, so that his troops could not be replenished in time.The court's decision-making was not decisive and wise. If the second prince had been allowed to succeed to the throne earlier, it might not have come to this point, but Zhao Cong insisted on the government and dragged down the country.
Everyone knows that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, but everyone knows the truth of burning eyebrows.After Zhao Guo is destroyed, Wu Guo will gradually become stronger, and then it will continue to launch wars to annex small countries.But that was after Zhao Guo was destroyed, and with the strength of Wu Guo, it would take several years to develop before he dared to be like Zhao Guo.As long as there are variables, there is hope.
But if Zhao Guo is given time to breathe, once his military strength recovers, countries like Zhou Zheng will be bullied by him again.Therefore, if you have to choose one of the two, everyone would rather the country of Wu rise slowly than let the country of Zhao revive.In the end, it was Zhao Cong's fault that he sat down and did too many crimes, which caused Zhao Guo to lose the credibility and prestige that a country should have.
Zhao Guojun and his ministers basically foresaw the demise of Zhao Guo, but Zhao Rui didn't want to admit it.He had finally waited for a chance to ascend the throne, how could he be willing to surrender and become a prisoner!Zhou Guo can be brought back to life, how can Zhao Guo not!But thinking about what happened today, he felt a little unhappy.
"General Qian, why do you want to withdraw! Although the coalition forces broke through the city gate, the city gate is narrow, and it is impossible for more than 40 troops to come in at once. We only need to guard the entrance, keep throwing stones and shooting rockets, although we still cannot defend Meng County. , but at least it can also damage the strength of the coalition forces, so that it will be easier for us to defend Shaokang. Now it is equivalent to giving them Mengxian County for nothing, and almost no damage to their strength. If we retreat like this, we will soon retreat to Now that the capital is here, where should we retreat at that time?"
Qian Jian closed his eyes wearily, and said weakly: "How can it be regarded as giving in, didn't the Chu army die a lot of people?"
Zhao Rui said excitedly: "Chu's army can only hurt 1 people at most, Wu's army basically didn't suffer much damage, but we lost a city! How can the general calculate like this!"
Qian Jian opened his eyes, obviously a little displeased and said: "Then what are your Highness's plans? Fight with the coalition forces in Meng County? If you want to go, you can also lead troops there now, they are still in Meng County, you can go to sneak attack. Look See if the person you brought can be brought back."
"You!" Zhao Rui was so angry that he couldn't speak, stood for a while holding back his anger, then turned and walked away.
Wang Taiwei and Qian Jiangjun have always been his assistants, and Zhao Rui also trusts them.He is not a prince, but they are willing to help him fight for the throne. General Qian lost his position because of this.Logically speaking, Zhao Rui shouldn't think about these two people like this, but he really felt that something was wrong about what happened today.
When throwing lime powder on the city wall, Zhao Rui obviously felt that the soldiers were more aimed at the soldiers of Chu State, but they were showing mercy to Wu Jun.He yelled at those soldiers at that time. After yelling, the soldiers said that they didn't do it deliberately, and killed several Wu soldiers in front of him.That's why Zhao Rui let it go, he just regarded it as a coincidence.
But after the allied forces entered the city, Qian Jian led his troops to abandon the city without saying a word. He retorted that he would not leave and guarded the passage.But I don't know if the battlefield was too noisy, everyone didn't hear him or what happened, but no one listened to him, Qian Jian gave an order, and everyone withdrew in an instant.Zhao Rui also had no choice but to retreat with the large army, and fled to Shaokang all the way in embarrassment.
But if General Qian did it on purpose, why?They have no reason to do so.Zhao Rui sat down on the steps discouragedly, regardless of his own image, just like a tired soldier at the moment.
Zhao Rui thought, perhaps because the country was about to perish, General Qian was unhappy, and his attitude towards himself had also changed.But since he is still willing to go out with him, it means that he still supports him, but he is too tired and impatient to explain the reason for using troops to himself.
Thinking of this, Zhao Rui got up and brought some food and drink to Qian Jian.The country is in trouble, and it is the time when the general is needed to lead the army to fight. He must not have a quarrel with the general at this time.This temper is what he deserves.He has endured so many years in the court, and he has never suffered any grievances. As long as he can defend the Zhao country and make a comeback in the future, he will no longer need to suffer from such uselessness.But now, he had to endure it.
"General, let's eat something." Zhao Rui handed Qian Jian two cakes and a water bottle.
Qian Jian looked up and saw that it was Zhao Rui, he was stunned for a while before reaching out to take the things in Zhao Rui's hands, he thought Zhao Rui was angry and left and ignored him, but he didn't expect to bring the things back.The prince of a country, being wronged so far, he also felt a little sad, but his years of military service made him not good at expressing, so he simply said: "Thank you."
Zhao Rui smiled gently, as if the previous disputes did not exist: "They are all my own, I regard the general as an uncle, the general is polite."
